  • Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties

    Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties The Louisiana Secretary of State carefully records the political party voters choose when they register to vote, which is how Louisiana's voter roll came to include 217 political parties, 86 which have only one member.  Included in that list is the Bull Moose Party, with its five members, 12 Jedis, 20  members of the Banana Party, one Monarchist, 16 Whigs, two Cajuns and a list of equally amusing party choices.  Read Gannett's Mike Hasten's hilarious account of those who list their party registration as "other" at the link below.

 ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Ft. Lauderdale – You could feel it in the air, the spirit of the Saints was everywhere on the day before the big one in South Florida.  Who Dats, large and small were running wild, umbrellas and beads aloft and even in the Latin dialect of South Beach, the Who Dat Nation was growing.  Blue and White –only the sky – as no sign of the Colts apparent in wave after wave of Saints black and gold.  This is the way the big game should be with many more fans than a stadium can hold, much more energy than any game can produce. Sunday is here...the Brees is blowing...a great game awaits amid a sea of Saints.
